Apparently there were rumours all week that this was a hoax - sadly, not so. Must have been because they delayed the news being made public.

The last of the actors I grew up idolising when the BBC used to run old horror movies on Friday and Saturday nights. R.I.P and thanks.

The first film I ever saw him in was Horror Express - I saw this on TV when I was a pre teen and I loved it.

This is really sad news.

The last true horror icon is gone. R.I.P. Mr. Lee.

A courageous veteran of World War Two, a remarkable actor, a mentor to many in his craft, even a heavy metal legend . . .

he was a man for all seasons.

The man had one hell of a life and career. RIP, you've earned it.

you know what's sad other than him passing away of course. i was at work today and a friend of mine said he passed away i said WHAT? i didn't believe it or rather didn't want to believe it. and nobody at my table this was during lunch by the way knew who he even was! i tried to say Count Dooku but i don't think anyone knew who i was talking about, it's like i was talking a different language and it just saddens me that they have no clue who he even is!

True Icon. RIP

Not two days ago I was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and wondered to myself how many years he had left in him. I should've been thinking in terms of days.

RIP to a great actor.
